The Republic of Letitflood is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 410 million Letitfloodians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deluge. The average income tax rate is 31.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Letitfloodian economy, worth 45.9 trillion New Bezants a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 112,020 New Bezants, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Getting your license is a rite of passage for young adults, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", and foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Letitfloodian ambassadors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Letitflood's national animal is the Frog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Letitflood is ranked 154,327^th in the world and 50^th in Cape of Good Hope for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 650.88 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
